Did you push your original build.prop and build.fishorgemstone.prop back?

Then I pushed the .prop files from the 4.2.3.1.zip adb push build.prop /system adb push build.sapphire.prop /system adb push build.trout.prop /system adb shell reboot

For those still getting the INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE error... Instead of adb install Maps.apk, try adb push Maps.apk /system and then install the apk from the phone. Worked perfect for me installing from the phone when I kept getting the error installing through adb. All the other directions were followed exactly as above and my MT3G is back to normal + navigation.

What do you mean install the apk from the phone? I got the install failed error so I copied the Maps.apk to my sdcard and tried installing it through a file manager. That still didn't work though.

yeah, installed fine for me, but no nav option either

Hmmm, I installed through Root Explorer and it worked just fine whereas adb install didn't.

Here guys, all wrapped up.

Make sure you have CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1, by the way.

1) Unzip zip to desktop
2) Run Part 1.bat
3) When prompted to press any key, do so; the phone will reboot
4) When your phone is running again, run Part 2.bat
5) When prompted to press any key, the installation process is done.
6) Make sure GPS is enabled
7) Open Maps and press OK
8) Press Menu
9) Press Directions
10) Enter an end point
11) Click Go
12) Just under "Show on map", click Navigate.
13) When prompted to install the voice codec, do so.
14) Enjoy.
